Wow thanks so much Karl, this video is sooo helpful! We are traveling to Egypt for our honeymoon in January. We recently found your channel and have been binge watching it, absolutely love your stuff! Love from Australia 💕
Hi im wanting to go to egypt next year as well and was wondering how much did your trip cost mines going to be around 17000 and im just lost at the price it includes a tour for 13 days??? Is it better to just buy the plane tickets and take cash to egypt to transfer into their currency and do activities in their currency? Need help
Incredible, have now been binge watching your videos, I thank you so much for your hard word in making these, they are a great source of enjoyment, information, education and enjoyment. Seeing the world through you and making it for us a probable reality that seeing these places can be done Thank you
I'm only half way through, and I never comment on any of these videos. But I gotta give you props brutha! Nailed it! Best video like this I've ever seen. Hands down.
Javier Arreaga I travel to Dubai for 1000$ for 2weeks I travel from London to Sofia to abudhabi with Wizz air for 250$ rutern flight / then I take bus from Abu Dhabi to Dubai downtown 15$ / I stay there in a hotel near downtown it’s could holiday inn I paid for 2week 350$ then the transportation was cheap the day metro and bus pass was for 5$ and the internet was for 40$ /
Bro, loved the video... in the midst of covid (cautiously) im taking a trip out to Egypt in January and you definitely blessed me with some good insight
Haha. Can't stand info videos that take forever to get to the point "Ok today we're going to look at the costs of travelling Egypt and er....well first of all....I gotta say I really enjoy Egypt...I'd probably put it in the top 10...no, no, top 5 countries...no wait, it's top 10 that I've been too....and er...the weather sure was great there too......"

Thank you for this video, I am planning to visit Egypt somewhere this year or if not late 2020. This video has been very informative and helpful. please keep the good contents up.
If I want the overnight ticket from Cairo to Aswan I think its best to get a ticket with an agency before I leave London. Anyway, very enjoyable journal
I got the train from Alexandria to aswan I just turned up at the train station and booked normal ticket. The experience of buying the ticket amongst the locals was something different crazy funny Egypt is a beautiful to travel around as a backpacker. Plus using my student card I got all the tickets 1/2 price bonus. Your video is great well done to the quality
Hi Karl. Not exactly sure what your total was for all the sites you visited, but did you look into getting the Cairo and Luxor passes? If you had bought the Cairo pass it would have entitled you to buy the Luxor pass for 50% of the going rate. So the two premium passes would have more or less got you everything bar Abu Simbel for $200 and would have allowed you in to see Nefertari and Seti's tombs. I did the math and it's well worth the cost, plus the convenience, though it only really works if you plan on seeing a fair few of the historic monuments.
Hadn’t heard about those passes, although that still works out a lot more than I spent in Cairo and Luxor, and that’s including the stupid camel ride. You’re right though seems like a good deal if you’re gonna check out all of the sites
@@karlwatsondocs Oh, they're not easy to track down - there's two points of sale in Cairo for the Cairo pass (the Egyptian museum and the entrance to the Giza plateau) and one in Luxor (Karnak temple) for the Luxor pass. They're really worth it for anyone who likes to hit a lot of the sites, especially if they want to visit things like Seti and Nefertari's tombs in Luxor (considered the best artistically) which I think run to $50 per ticket. I totaled up the separate ticket costs for me, versus the passes, and the cost comes in at less than half the outlay. Plus you don't necessarily need the premium pass for Luxor if you don't want to visit the tombs of Nefertari or Seti - you can just get the standard pass, which brings the total for both passes down to $150. There's also the huge convenience factor of not having to line up for tickets at each place, though of course you still have to buy photo passes if that's a point of interest. For any of your subscribers who might be interested, here's the official guide to the passes (it's useful as well for people looking for the individual cost of each site) - www.egyptologyforum.org/MOA/MoA_Ticket_Price_Nov._2018_EN.pdf
@@wineishealthy AlohaForLife Hi there. Yep, anything and everything listed on that sheet for Luxor is included - if you look at the picture of the pass it shows you what's available. What some people even do while in Luxor is go to Seti and Nefertari's tomb each morning just for the hell of it, knowing it's well over $100 worth of value each time - it's like people who go on cruise ships, buy a booze-pass, and spend the entire cruise drinking like fish to get their money's worth! :) The Luxor ticket doesn't include Abu Simbel to the south or Kom Ombo and Edfu to the north, but it's still worth it. The prices you see for each individual place on that PDF sheets is in Egyptian currency, which is currently at around 16.5 Egyptian pounds per US Dollar - so if you look at the cost for Nefertari's tomb, which is 1200 EP, that works out to about $72 US - and as expensive as that seems, especially by Egyptian standards, I know people who'll pay it to see that tomb, because the artwork inside is that good. Think of it another way - at 50% off via the Cairo pass discount the $100 US cost of the Premium pass for Luxor pays for itself just on Nefertari and Seti's tombs, which together would cost $132 US - so you're already saving $32. Everything else in Luxor is then basically thrown in for free. Here's all the places I plan on visiting during my time in Luxor (bearing in mind that I love Egyptian history and want to check out all the sites that I can) - Luxor Temple, Luxor museum, Karnak temple, Karnak open museum, Nefertari tomb, Seti I tomb, Tutankhamen tomb, Ramses IV tomb, other VOTK tombs, Temple of Hatshepsut, Rammeseum, Tombs of the nobles, Medinet Habu, Carter's home, Valley of the queens, Tomb of Ay - all that adds up to over $230 US if I buy separate tickets, bearing in mind the additional tedium of lining up to get each one. Also bear in mind that you can go back to anything you like as many times as you feel or on a whim if you happen to be nearby - if one visit to Nefertari's tomb isn't enough, you can go back again. There is one caveat to all this though - the tickets can be a real pain to get because according to numerous trip reviews a lot of the staff aren't even aware of the passes and will look at you in mystification if you ask for them. Each place has got it's own little trick to getting the pass - if you do a search on it under Tripadviser or Lonely Planet's forum you'll find up-to-date information on the procedure. And unless it's changed you can't buy both passes at the same time - you buy the Cairo pass first, do your thing for the five-day limit on the pass, then go to Luxor and use the Cairo pass (even if it's since expired) to buy the Luxor version at 50% off. Hope all this helps! :)
Not including flights I spent a little bit over 500 $ in my 4 weeks there. I didn't do any diving or balloon rides but my itinerary was similar to yours. I made a video about my costs in Egypt as well and think 1/3 went for transportation and accommodation, another 1/3 for entrance fees and 'tours' and the rest on food and water.
will you be sharing your cost breakdown too? Egypt is on my list next year or so. I will be glad to share my aprox cost breakdown of 3 weeks of bus, yacht; itinerary all over Turkey if you like. I did a time travel back to the Roman Empire territory last month :)
@@worldcitizeng6507 I did a very detailed cost breakdown which can be found on my channel! Just go to Backpacktopia and check my "How expensive is Egypt" video.
What a great job, great video Karl. Really hope to meet you for a beer if you' re back in Egypt. Glad I' ve found your channel - a source of inspiration.
I'm planning a trip to Egypt, and I've been wondering how to plan it... where to buy tours and tickets to transports and that sort of stuff. thank you for your video. it helps a lot!!
You are such confident and good traveller. Wish I am like you. Travelling to Egypt is in my bucket list since childhood. All the good luck and best wishes to you. Please let me know travelling alone is safe.I am planning for April 2022.
Fantastic breakdown mate, thank you. It helps me to get a better idea of just how much everything there is price wise and helps in the planning process. Debating on whether to go to Egypt or Thailand for a month. Which do you personally prefer?
The 2 locations are COMPLETELY different experiences so depends what you're after. Obviously Thailand get more of a variety of landscapes, are way more of social scene too.
Most people only think of Thailand, I think Thailand/Bali are overrated. Yes, if you haven't visit Thailand, you should. However, if you divide your travel to just travel a little south, to Malaysia's Langkawi island, you would be delighted. You can literary see Thailand's island from Langkawi without a ton of tourist and over price hotels, it's also has white sandy beaches, and they all speaks English because Malaysia was a British colony. The bonus when visiting Malaysia is the variety of delicious food from 3 cultures, Malay, Indian & Chinese.
Just watched your Egypt travel log, really enjoyed it. Question: What kind of shoes you wore while you there? What do you recommend? I’ll be in Egypt next week.
Hello Karl, Do you think it's safe for a solo female traveler to take the Cairo-Aswan normal train seat instead of the "sleeper"? Another travel channel also shown that the train station agent won't sell regular seat to foreigners..
The day train is definitely safe, but I'm not sure about the night train or whether a foreigner can buy a ticket in the seated area for that journey. I bought tickets for the day train to Luxor in October for myself, my daughter, and her little boy at the ticket counter in Cairo, paying in Egyptian pounds. It was a bit difficult but a local helped me. The day train was lovely, similar to European trains in comfort, and not expensive.
Love you from Egypt ❤️🌻😊 Come to Egypt when corona goes away inshallah 🌸🌞💜 And continue your good videos 🎁🌚🌷 And always be safe inshallah and take care of yourself ❤️🥳🎁
Ok I’ll bite.....what on earth are you talking about? Of course I know Egypt is in Africa! At which moment in this video did you think I thought it was otherwise?
The flights are so pricy, I just can't find a reasonably priced flight back from Cairo atm. The best option at the moment seems to go to larnaca and fly to Egypt form there but when a flight home is the same price as half the holiday its just ridiculous
Hi I'm planning a trip to Egypt next year thank you for information on cost it's helpful, can you please tell me how long take to travel from Cairo to luxor ?
I want to visit in August but they say It's not recommendable to visit that. Why? Maybe heat? If only because of heat I don't mind I have high tolerance on heat. The thing is that my parents want to visit in January but I can't choose any other month but July. I also don't like sun position in the winter months, the sky is bluer in summer and I always see more beautiful pictures because the sun is positioned the highest. You guess I want to visit pyramids, Luxor and Aswan in summer in the noon hahaha
One of the many scam tricks that Egyptians use is to first agree on a price with tourists in pounds (which is the Egyptian currency) and then later claim that they meant English pounds, which is 27 times more expensive
So I can go there with close to 5k or more and I can visit Egypt and enjoy fine living for crazy cheap that I could possibly blow in my country? Gotta plan a 10 day vacation to Egypt in my early 30s.
My trip to egypt is going to cost around 17000 and im just lost at the price it includes a tour for 13 days??? Is it better to just buy the plane tickets and take cash to egypt to transfer into their currency and do activities in their currency? Need help
Hello Karl, I really enjoyed your video to Egypt and Jordan and this video is really helpful, I am planning to go there next summer, and if I only going to Egypt for 7 days and night, do you think I am still able to go to all these places you been in the video? If not what is your recommendation? Thanks so much.

Question: What kind of shoes you wore while you there? What do you recommend?
I’ll be in Egypt next week.
Hello Karl,
Do you think it's safe for a solo female traveler to take the Cairo-Aswan normal train seat instead of the "sleeper"? Another travel channel also shown that the train station agent won't sell regular seat to foreigners..
The day train is definitely safe, but I'm not sure about the night train or whether a foreigner can buy a ticket in the seated area for that journey. I bought tickets for the day train to Luxor in October for myself, my daughter, and her little boy at the ticket counter in Cairo, paying in Egyptian pounds. It was a bit difficult but a local helped me. The day train was lovely, similar to European trains in comfort, and not expensive.
hey >> this not right you can have and enjoy in safe .. i from Egypt and i made tours
Love you from Egypt ❤️🌻😊
Come to Egypt when corona goes away inshallah 🌸🌞💜
And continue your good videos 🎁🌚🌷
And always be safe inshallah and take care of yourself ❤️🥳🎁
You do know that Egypt is in Africa....Right...glad .you had a good experience on the continent.
Ok I’ll bite.....what on earth are you talking about? Of course I know Egypt is in Africa! At which moment in this video did you think I thought it was otherwise?
😆😆😆😆
That was quite a fair price
Dam I would be so lost
Thank you for your video. How much would you recommend for shopping/souvenirs?
The flights are so pricy, I just can't find a reasonably priced flight back from Cairo atm. The best option at the moment seems to go to larnaca and fly to Egypt form there but when a flight home is the same price as half the holiday its just ridiculous
Thanks mate
Cheers
Egypt is the best 👍🏆🙏🇪🇬😍
I'm poud of my country 🇪🇬😍
Great video? How did you book pickup from the airport with your Hostel? I’m staying at Madina Hostel in May. Thanks!
I hope that I go to dahap
You Missed Hot Balloon Ride in Luxor...
Hi I'm planning a trip to Egypt next year thank you for information on cost it's helpful, can you please tell me how long take to travel from Cairo to luxor ?
By train it will be about 7 hrs
You’re welcomed anytime
by train 7 hours by plane 45 mins
Hi Karl, thanks for the video , did you have to get vaccines for Egypt?
I want to visit in August but they say It's not recommendable to visit that. Why? Maybe heat? If only because of heat I don't mind I have high tolerance on heat. The thing is that my parents want to visit in January but I can't choose any other month but July. I also don't like sun position in the winter months, the sky is bluer in summer and I always see more beautiful pictures because the sun is positioned the highest. You guess I want to visit pyramids, Luxor and Aswan in summer in the noon hahaha
Which country you been in your life cheaper than Egypt ?
Hi my friend. I have a question,
How hard is it to get wifi in these places ? I'm planning on doing this whilst working remotely!
Ok what is the conversion of 160 pounds vs us dollar explain to me please
One of the many scam tricks that Egyptians use is to first agree on a price with tourists in pounds (which is the Egyptian currency) and then later claim that they meant English pounds, which is 27 times more expensive
Do one of these for Central America trip 👌🏼
Yep gonna do them for all my old trips
If you do a video like this for the east coast of Australia or other popular routes you’d get a lot of views
Yeah I’ll eventually get round to doing those places
So I can go there with close to 5k or more and I can visit Egypt and enjoy fine living for crazy cheap that I could possibly blow in my country? Gotta plan a 10 day vacation to Egypt in my early 30s.
how do you book thing through hostels ?? it seems a lot easier and convenient. do all do this?
My trip to egypt is going to cost around 17000 and im just lost at the price it includes a tour for 13 days??? Is it better to just buy the plane tickets and take cash to egypt to transfer into their currency and do activities in their currency? Need help
It's interesting, your whole trip cost the same as my first day in Cairo. And im going to be in northern Africa for a month.
the vendors love you
Hello Karl, I really enjoyed your video to Egypt and Jordan and this video is really helpful, I am planning to go there next summer, and if I only going to Egypt for 7 days and night, do you think I am still able to go to all these places you been in the video? If not what is your recommendation? Thanks so much.
Thank you
Amazing dude! Which place did you think was best for diving?
Dahab for sure.
